Abstract:

Spent pot lining(SPL) is a hazardous waste produced in the process of aluminum electrolysis,which threaten the ecological environment badly.How to realize the harmless disposal and resource utilization of SPL economically,safely and environmentally has become a hot topic in aluminum industry.The main source,composition and impact on the environment of SPL was reviewed.The treatment Methods of SPL were summarized.The industrial treatment technologies were mainly intro-duced and their future development trend were also analyzed.It provided reference for the treatment of SPL in China.

Key words: spent pot lining of aluminum electrolysis, hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy
